Underwater Volcanic Eruption

 


Underwater Volcanic Eruption


There are many mentioned discoveries in Qur'an, here is another discovery which Confirm that ocean depth is aflame…….

Few days ago, scientists had discovered a Volcanic Eruption "In Action" in depth of Pacific Ocean, they say that this volcano was caused by long split 2500 meter beneath sea surface. There was what is looks like the big bang as magma was erupted and accumulated to forming flaming cloud that arise 250 meter above the ocean floor . It significantly heats water. {1}

Scientists confirm that these eruptions are continuously repeated and it lasts for a long time. Therefore any observer might feel as if he is in front of flaming sea.

When any one of us reads about this, he or she must remember the koranic verse. God says: (And by the heated sea) (At-Tur – verse 6) which means aflame and heated . in Al – Moheet dictionary, Arabs says: to fire up the oven is to heat it and in another meaning to raise its temperature , here we can realize that god swear by the fired sea for a great wisdom as if he wants to bring scientists attention to the reality of that sea as an aflame sea , so they have to realize the reality of Qur'an who told you about this discovery. So god says at the end of Sûrat At-Tûr (Or do they say: "He (Muhammad) has forged it (this Qur’ân)?" Nay! They believe not .Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur’ân) if they are truthful.) {At-Tûr – verse 33, 34}

Therefore, we have to ask a question, is the Qur'an a scientific facts and science book or it is a legends and fables book?

Mountains and Rains

 

Mountains and Rains


The Qur'an linked between mountains and the water we drink; nowadays scientists discovered a link between both of them, let us read ….

Fourteen century ago human was looking for the clouds and rains as a strange phenomena which made by Gods, therefore they used to pray for those Gods asking for rains, in Europe people were looking to the rains as a given livelihood by Gods!

But when the Islam came, it corrected many ideas and showed people the right way and guided them far from the wrong ideas, as the Islam talked about rains as a scientific phenomenon, as God who is the creator of the universe and everything and He is who put the rules of descending the rains. He confirmed in two holy verses on the existence of precise rules which control this phenomenon, He says :( And we sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and we gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, we are Able to take it away.)(Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn- verse 18) also God says: (And who sends down water (rain) from the sky in due measure, then we revives a dead land therewith, and even so you will be brought forth (from the graves).)(Sûrat AZ-Zukhruf- verse 11).

It means that the Qur'an is the first book to put a scientific base for the phenomenon of descending the rains, and to keep myths and superstitions away from minds of people. But there is an important thing that scientists had discovered the role of the mountains to forming clouds and rains.



Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) wasn't living in such environment, but he lived in a desert environment where no human is able to predict with any kind of relationships between mountains and water of the rain, this is an evidence that the Qur'an is an inspiration from God to His prophet (peace be upon him).

When the wind drives the ascending Molecules of water from the seas, the mountains contribute in the ascending operation to raise it up exactly like the ice skating race as the skater tries to reach the top of the mountain and when he reach it in a high speed he jumps in the air so that his speed increases to reach high distance, without the mountain he wouldn't be able to rise in the air.




There is a relationship between mountains and clouds, so we see the tops of mountains are covered with clouds all the year, because the design of these mountains which works as a bumper for the air to slide on its surface, that design helps in the acceleration of the loaded air by water vapor and helps in cooling it to form the clouds.

Here we can touch a scientific fact that the mountains have a vital role in the formation of clouds. Hence we can find that the sweetest kind of water is in the high mountains.

Therefore the taller the mountain the more amount of clouds are formed to produce rains or ice which dissolve and leak through the mountains to form fresh and sweet springs.



Scientists say that springs are formed in near of the mountains and its water is fresh and palatable, God says: (And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water?) (Sûrat Al-Mursalât – verse 27).



Water of springs which come from the high mountains passed through many filtration operations, so that the high mountain works as a filtration machines.



Without the mountains, even a one drop of water wouldn't be descended! That may seem so strange but this is the reality because of the vital role of the mountains in forming the clouds. Clouds are responsible for the descending of rains and also in forming ice which dissolves to make fresh and sweet water.



Scientists confirm that despite the advanced development in technology, human is unable to imitate such operations, therefore God says: (And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water?) (Sûrat Al-Mursalât – verse 27). In this verse God be He exalted and blessed made a link between the tall of mountains and the sweet water. Here we have to stop and ask a question: who knows at that time that the mountains have a vital role in the descending of rains and filtration of water?



Also, there is another relation between the tall of the mountain and the amount of the descended water ,the taller the mountain the more amount of water is descended and also purer and fresh .Therefore the Qur'an linked between the high mountains as God said(tall mountains) and the sweet and fresh water as God says(sweet water).

As a result we can see that all verses of the Qur'an are compact with no contradiction and are compatible with the new science, isn’t it an evidence that the Qur'an is a book which was descended from God be He exalted and blessed?

(And say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.") (Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse 114)

The servant of the prophet S.A.W , Anas Ibn Malik, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: "I served the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) for ten years, and I swear by Allaah, he never said to me any harsh word, and it has not come to my attention that he ever said about something I had done why I did it, or about something I had not done, why I had not done it." [Muslim]

Nowadays, it is unfortunate that many people think that their servants are their slaves , and that they don't have rights nor do they have feelings ..

May Allah strengthen our faith and make us good followers of our beloved prophet PBUH ameen

Emergence of seas

 

Emergence of seas


Scientists were asking this question for long time, how the seas were formed? And from where did this amount of water come?

The most accepted theory to explain the emergence of water from the practical and scientifically point of view can be summarized that the earth at the beginning was throwing lava from the inside, these lava were dashing in the atmosphere so that it was releasing millions of tons of the heated water vapor that ascend in the air till it touch the higher layers of the atmosphere to condense to make the heavy rains.

Hence, the water in earth was emerged from the underground of the earth which means that God be He exalted and blessed take out its water from the inside of it, God says :( And after that He spread the earth *and brought forth there from its water and its pasture*and the mountains He has fixed firmly* (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.)(Sûrat An-Nazi' at- verse 30-33).

Look at the sequence of the cosmic events, at the beginning the earth was a flammable celestial body which was separated from the sun and then it started to turn around it, the turning of earth , separation from the sun and then the earth was spread till it got its spherical shape are what the Qur'an told us in His saying:( And after that He spread the earth), in this verse a sign for the sphericity of earth as the word spread came from the roundness of the egg. During the cooling operation the water vapor started to ascend from the lava and that what the Qur'an told us in His saying :( and brought forth there from its water and its pasture).

So the water got out from the earth to start the formation of life and to bring the different plants. At that time the mountains hadn’t been formed yet as it took thousands of millions of years to form the mountains!

When the earth started to become cold, the earth crust started to be formed and that crust started to move because it stands on the lava (thousands of degree of heat)!as a result of these movement the different parts of the crust started to collision with each others to form the mountains. Mountains have roots which extends to thousand of meters inside earth crust as it work as a balance for the earth to fix it during its turning like the anchor for the boat, so God says:(and the mountains He has fixed firmly* (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.) (Sûrat An-Nazi'at- verse 30-33).



The scientists say that the water was descended from the sky to be lodged inside the earth which formed seas and rivers, therefore God talks about the descending of the water from the sky and also from inside the earth. Scientists say that both facts are right

Now the Question is: what may happen if the salt of the seas is able to evaporate like the water of the seas? God be He exalted put the law of gravity to enable life to continue. As the salt is heavier than the water so it can't ascend in the air ….but the water can, because the density of water vapor is less than the density of the air. Scientists calls it the "Archimedes' principle".

This law which is related to the density of the materials guarantees the evaporation of water and to keeping the salt in the seas to ensure the descending of the pure water from the sky, God says :(Then tell me about the water that you drink * Is it you who cause it from the rain-clouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?*If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable): why then do you not give thanks (to Allah)?)(Sûrat Al-Wâqi‘ah- verse 68-70).

Therefore, the scientific miracle in the Qur'an is not only limited to mentioning the scientific facts but it includes the actual sequence of these facts. There is no contradiction between the modern science and the words of Allah. This is evidence that the creator of the universe is the one who descended the Qur'an.

Story of a Bird and Sufyān ath-Thawrī

Imām al-Dhahabī mentions the following story in his entry for Sufyān ath-Thawrī:

”ʻAlī b. ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz said, Arim narrated to us saying, I went to Abū Manṣūr to visit him, he said to me, ‘Sufyān resided in this house, and there was here a nightingale belonging to my son.

He (Sufyān) said, ‘Why is this locked up (in a cage)? It should be freed.’

I said, ‘It belongs to my son, and he gives it to you as a gift.’
Sufyān said, ‘No, I will give him a dinar for it.’

He said, ‘He then took it and freed it, and it would go out and return in the evening, and would be at the far end of the house.
When Sufyān died, it followed his funeral procession and was flying over his grave. After this on some nights it would go to his grave, and sometimes would spend the night there, and sometimes would return back home.

They then found it dead by his grave and it was buried alongside Sufyān.”’

(cited in al-Fawāʼid al-Gharrah, 3/281)

Illumination and Light

Illumination and Light



Scientists have discovered that there are burning reactions that happens in the sun which produces light and heat where the temperature of the surface of the sun reaches around six thousand degrees Celsius. Therefore the sun is the source of illumination and the moon is the source of light, the sun produces light that's why we couldn't look directly at it because of the strong light coming out, therefore it is a shining and luminous body and that's why the Quran called it: (shining).



As for the moon, it is like a mirror that reflects the sun rays that fall on it then a part of it returns back to the earth and we see it lighted. It means that the moon reflects the light of the sun so we see it a lighted moon. We can look at the moon and enjoy its light; therefore it is a lighted body and the Quran called it: (light). The Quran told us about this fact, as God be he exalted says: (It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light) [Surat Yunus, verse: 5].

 
Revenge

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Musa (alaihis salam) asked Allah (subhana wa ta’ala), ‘My Lord! Which one is the dearest to You among Your creatures?’ Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) said, ‘The one who has the power to take revenge, yet forgives.’” [Mishkat]

To forgive is a divine attribute. Nobody is more powerful than Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) and able to exact retribution, yet no one is more forbearing and forgiving than Him.

If somebody came to my house, started insulting me, misusing my property, and disregarding my feelings, how long would I allow them to stay? This is how we behave with regard to Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). We deny Him, insult Him, disregard His injunctions, all the while living on His planet, yet we don’t hear that “so-and-so fell off the earth today.” Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) puts up with us, giving us time and a chance to change.

He who desires to take revenge is entitled to, without exceeding what was done to him. If he is powerless to take revenge in his life he may do so on the Day of Judgement. On that Day each person will get the good deeds of the person who did them an injustice or owed them anything (be it good behaviour). If the oppressor has no good deeds left to give, then the bad deeds of the oppressed will get loaded onto him, in proportion to what he owed them.

It is one thing to not take revenge in life because one is powerless to do so. It takes a character of much greater magnanimity to forgive when one has the power to exact revenge. Since Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is ever willing to overlook our faults and forgive us if we repent, to become beloved to Him we need to practice the same in our relationships with His creatures. To err is human, but to forgive … is divine.

“The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on Friday, Adam was created, and on it he was made to enter Paradise, and on it he was expelled from therein.”

 

Allah Ta'ala says in the Quran:

Translation : "O you who believe! When the call for jumu'ah salaat is made, hasten towards the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala and leave all transactions. This is best for you if only you know . "

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Aadam alayhis salaam was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from jannah (which became the cause for man's existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. " (Sahih Muslim)

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted. " (Bukhari, Muslim)

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "On the day of jumu'ah, the angels stand at the entrance of that musjid in which jumu'ah salaat is to be offered. They write down the name of the person who enters the musjid first, and thereafter the name of the person who follows, and they continue doing this . The person who entered first will receive the reward of sacrificing a camel in the path of Allah, the one who followed him will get the reward of sacrificing a cow, thereafter a chicken, thereafter the reward of giving an egg as charity in the path of Allah. Once the khutbah commences, the angels close the register and begin listening to the khutbah. " (Bukhari and Muslim)

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "The person who has a bath on Friday, purifies himself as far as possible, applies oil to his hair, applies perfume, leaves for the musjid, when he arrives at the musjid he does not sit down by removing anyone from his place, offers as many nafl salaats as possible, when the imam delivers the khutbah he remains silent - then his sins from the previous jumu'ah till now will be forgiven. " (Bukhari)

It is also recommended to recite Surat al-Kahf ... The Virtues of Jumu'ah

Allah Ta'ala says in the Quran:

Translation : "O you who believe! When the call for jumu'ah salaat is made, hasten towards the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala and leave all transactions. This is best for you if only you know . "

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Aadam alayhis salaam was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from jannah (which became the cause for man's existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. " (Sahih Muslim)

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted. " (Bukhari, Muslim)

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "On the day of jumu'ah, the angels stand at the entrance of that musjid in which jumu'ah salaat is to be offered. They write down the name of the person who enters the musjid first, and thereafter the name of the person who follows, and they continue doing this . The person who entered first will receive the reward of sacrificing a camel in the path of Allah, the one who followed him will get the reward of sacrificing a cow, thereafter a chicken, thereafter the reward of giving an egg as charity in the path of Allah.

" (Bukhari)

It is also recommended to recite Surat al-Kahf ...

State of the Disbelievers on the Day of Judgment…

“Therein they will cry: “Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not (the evil deeds) that we used to do.” (Allah will reply): “Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, - could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper.” [35:37]

 

Crying that is Inspired by Shaytaan

When Ruqayya (radi Allahu anha) the daughter of the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) died and women started to cry, Umar (radi Allahu anhu) tried to stop them. On this the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “O Umar, leave them alone and let them cry.” To the women he said: “Go ahead and cry, but avoid the crying of the Shaytaan… Whatever comes from your eye and heart is from Allah and is a sign of mercy, and whatever comes from your hand and your tongue is from the Shaytaan.” [Ahmad]

It is permitted to cry on the death of a loved one. It is natural to feel a sense of loss from which one sheds tears. However, wailing, eulogizing (excessively praising the deceased), tearing one’s clothes, pulling one’s hair, and all such extreme displays of emotion from one’s hand and tongue are forbidden.

These customs were known at the time of Jahilliyah and are still common among Muslims today. Such conduct is not permitted in Islam, as a Muslim is required to face bereavement, like all other trials of life, with patience.

 

The Simple Life of Muhammad salla Allahu alayhe wa sallam :

If we compare the life of Muhammad pbuh before his mission as a prophet and his life after he began his mission as a prophet, we will conclude that it is beyond reason to think that Muhammad pbuh was a false prophet, who claimed prophethood to attain material gains, greatness, glory, or power.

Before his mission as a prophet, Muhammad
pbuh had no financial worries. As a successful and reputed merchant, Muhammad pbuh drew a satisfactory and comfortable income. After his mission as a prophet and because of it, he became worse off materially. To clarify this more, let us browse the following sayings on his life:

n Aa’isha, Muhammad’s wife, said, “O my nephew, we would sight three new moons in two months without lighting a fire (to cook a meal) in the Prophet’s houses.” Her nephew asked, “O Aunt, what sustained you?” She said, “The two black things, dates and water, but the Prophet had some Ansar neighbors who had milk-giving she-camels and they used to send the Prophet some of its milk.”1

n Sahl Ibn Sa’ad, one of Muhammad’s companions, said, “The Prophet of God did not see bread made from fine flour from the time God sent him (as a prophet) until he died.”2

n Aa’isha, Muhammad’s wife, said, “The mattress of the Prophet , on which he slept, was made of leather stuffed with the fiber of the date-palm tree.”3

n Amr Ibn Al-Hareth, one of Muhammad’s companions, said that when the Prophet died, he left neither money nor anything else except his white riding mule, his arms, and a piece of land which he left to charity.4

Muhammad pbuh lived this hard life till he died although the Muslim treasury was at his disposal, the greater part of the Arabian Peninsula was Muslim before he died, and the Muslims were victorious after eighteen years of his mission.

Is it possible that Muhammad pbuh might have claimed prophethood in order to attain status, greatness, and power? The desire to enjoy status and power is usually associated with good food, fancy clothing, monumental palaces, colorful guards, and indisputable authority. Do any of these indicators apply to Muhammad ? A few glimpses of his life that may help answer this question follow.

Despite his responsibilities as a prophet, a teacher, a statesman, and a judge, Muhammad pbuh used to milk his goat,5 mend his clothes, repair his shoes,6 help with the household work,7 and visit poor people when they got sick.8 He also helped his companions in digging a trench by moving sand with them.9 His life was an amazing model of simplicity and humbleness.

Muhammad’s followers loved him, respected him, and trusted him to an amazing extent. Yet he continued to emphasize that deification should be directed to God and not to him personally. Anas, one of Muhammad’s companions, said that there was no person whom they loved more than the Prophet Muhammad pbuh , yet when he came to them, they did not stand up for him because he hated their standing up for him,10 as other people do with their great people.

Long before there was any prospect of success for Islam and at the outset of a long and painful era of torture, suffering, and persecution of Muhammad pbuh and his followers, he received an interesting offer. An envoy of the pagan leaders, Otba, came to him saying, “...If you want money, we will collect enough money for you so that you will be the richest one of us. If you want leadership, we will take you as our leader and never decide on any matter without your approval. If you want a kingdom, we will crown you king over us...” Only one concession was required from Muhammad pbuh in return for that, to give up calling people to Islam and worshipping God alone without any partner. Wouldn’t this offer be tempting to one pursuing worldly benefit? Was Muhammad pbuh hesitant when the offer was made? Did he turn it down as a bargaining strategy leaving the door open for a better offer? The following was his answer: {In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful} And he recited to Otba the verses of the Quran 41:1-38.11 The Following are some of these verses:

A revelation from (God), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; a Book whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Quran in Arabic, for people who know, giving good news and warning, yet most of them turn away, so they do not listen. (Quran, 41:2-4)

On another occasion and in response to his uncle’s plea to stop calling people to Islam, Muhammad’s answer was as decisive and sincere: {I swear by the name of God, O Uncle!, that if they place the sun in my right-hand and the moon in my left-hand in return for giving up this matter (calling people to Islam), I will never desist until either God makes it triumph or I perish defending it.}12

Muhammad pbuh and his few followers did not only suffer from persecution for thirteen years but the unbelievers even tried to kill Muhammad pbuh several times. On one occasion they attempted to kill him by dropping a large boulder, which could barely be lifted, on his head.13 Another time they tried to kill him by poisoning his food.14 What could justify such a life of suffering and sacrifice even after he was fully triumphant over his adversaries? What could explain the humbleness and nobility which he demonstrated in his most glorious moments when he insisted that success is due only to God’s help and not to his own genius? Are these the characteristics of a power-hungry or a self-centered man?

Allah be he exalted says: (Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.) [Surat An-Nur, verse: 40].

The explanation of the verse:

God be he blessed and exalted talks in this Quranic text about those who disbelieved in God's verses and denied His meeting and disclaimed the Prophet. So those people and their works that they have done in their lives are like a man that runs behind a mirage, panting behind it and when he reaches it he found nothing but his bad work. And this unbeliever is like a man living in the darkness of a deep sea and can hardly see anything because of the accumulated darkness.

Al-Imam Al-Qurtuby may Allah have mercy on him said: (in a vast deep sea) is the sea that we couldn't see its bottom and vast means the sea when the waves clash. And it was recently discovered that there are interior waves in the deep sees.

Scientific fact:

When scientists went down to the depths of the oceans, they found that deep sees have great darkness. And at the depth of one kilometer one could hardly see something and the darkness increases if the surface sea waves are high as they contribute in blocking the sunlight.

They have also found that at the depths of the deep sees, there are internal waves that no one could see unless he goes down to depths of more than one thousand meters and these waves could be harder than the surface waves.

The point of inimitability:

In this Quranic text there are two scientific signs:

1-Talking about the darkness in the deep sees and this is what scientists have recently discovered and it wasn't known at the time of the coming down of Quran.

2-Referring to the internal deep waves and it was also recently discovered by scientists and it was mentioned in the verse as Almighty God says: (overwhelmed with waves topped by waves).

the Prophet (saw) said:

"If only you relied on Allah a true reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs."

Allah the almighty said:

{And whoever fears Allah, He will provide him a way out and will provide for him from an unforeseen direction. And whoever relies on Allah, He is sufficient for him.}

Avoid Exaggeration

 
Avoid Exaggeration

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Those who exaggerate will be ruined; those who exaggerate will be ruined; those who exaggerate will be ruined." [Sahih Muslim]

Simple advice that we can start changing our lives with! Speech that is devoid of exaggeration is almost necessarily devoid of lying. For if a person is careful enough to avoid even exaggeration, it is not possible that they would be careless enough to lie. And one who avoids lying stays on the path to Jannah.

To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is(always) near, ready to answer." [Quran 11:61]

A River In A Matchbox

“A man came to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me but make it concise.’ He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘(1) When you stand to pray, pray like a man bidding farewell. (2) Do not say anything for which you will have to apologize. (3) And give up hope for what other people have.’” [Sunan Ibn Majah]

If we pray as though it is our last prayer we will implore Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) very humbly and supplicate Him very seriously. If our every prayer is like this then how much sin could we possibly accumulate between prayers?

The second piece of advice that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) gave was concerning the use of the tongue. Before uttering words, their results should be considered carefully, since spoken words cannot be taken back, and ill speech may cause unlimited losses.

When we do not vie for that which other people possess, our hearts will be clear of envy, jealousy, rancour and other negative feelings. We will be able to focus on acquiring the ever-lasting goods of the Hereafter rather than the temporary adornments of the world. When we do not look at others’ possessions enviously they will also feel more secure with us and relationships will improve.

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) rarely gave long speeches. He would keep his words brief and to the point. He didn’t want to burden or bore anybody. Since what he said he felt from the bottom of his heart, it left its impact on the hearts of those who heard him. His speech wasn’t just the result of the activity of his vocal cords, but a manifestation of his own condition. So a few words were enough to convey his thoughts and confer change in others.

Subhan-Allah! Such concise advice that will simultaneously straighten my relationship with my Creator as well as my relationship with His creation! With this advice the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) has fit a river into a matchbox.

After the famous trip from Makka to Media , the prophet pbuh established brotherhood between the mihajiroun (people coming from Makka) and al-ansar (the people of Madina) ,

He established brotherhood between Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf and Sa'd ibn ar-Rabi' al-Ansari. The Ansari wanted to share his house and property with him. But 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Awf said, 'May Allah bless you in your family and property. Just show me the market.'

I gave you this example because it shows the greatness of the prophet's companions ! Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf was from al-muhajiroun (people coming from Makka to Madina) , he had nothing with him , he did not have a house or wealth , but when the Ansari wanted to share his property with him , Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf said NO , and he asked to know where is the market ,

He prefered working , he did not want to get a house and a wealth without any effort , he said : "Just show me the market" and by time he became rich again.

Today we have millions of muslims sleeping in their beds waiting for their governments to offer them nice jobs !

What if your government failed to offer you a job ? will you spend your life waiting ? you should not be spineless , you must move and try to get free jobs , Allah is Al-Razak , not your government !

You must trust Allah and try to work everything you can , dont feel shame from working , all prophets were Sheep breeders and they did not feel shame but they were great people ..to get 1 Dollar per day from halal is better than getting nothing !

The muslim should not sleep , this is the message of Islam ..and that is how we can make our Ummah better ...In Islam work is given special importance to the extent that it is considered as an act of worship in itself

`Umar ibn Al-Khattab (ra), used to stress this point further by telling people, “Never should anyone of you think that du`aa’ (supplication) for sustenance without work will avail him, for heaven never rains gold nor silver”

Do you know what is shirk ?

Well , everyone will say shirk is associating a partner with Allah !

I have a small question : Do you know what does that mean ?

Well , i will explain it because Shirk is the ONLY unforgivable crime because Allah say in Quran :

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin

(Quran 4:48)

By the way i will explain some famous kinds of shirk :

~~To pray for other than Allah is a shirk

~~To think that Livelihood come from other than Allah is a shirk

~~To think that people can benefit you or harm you without the will of Allah is a shirk

~~To name someone with Allah's names is a shirk

~~If we think that Allah is like human being when he laugh or smile or speak or sit , it is a shirk because Allah said in Quran (42:11) : ".There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing"

~~To perform prayers (literally!) at the graveside, they sacrifice in the name of the dead saint and they make tawwaaf circumambulation) of the grave. Many of them even ask the dead saints to grant them children and to help them ! All this contradicts the statement of Allah when he commands us to:

"Say; Truly my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the worlds" (Surah Al-An'aam 6:162)

~~Showing off in worshipping Allah (ar-riya) is a shirk , like giving charity in public to make people thank you, or when you pray or recite Quran in public so people say good words about you...etc

~~Trusting manmade laws like democracy , communism , Socialism... is a kind of shirk , muslims should only trust the sharia law because On the authority of `Adi Ibn Hatim (ra), it is reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah reciting this Qur'anic verse:

" They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords beside Allah and [they take as a lord] Al-Maseeh, `Eesaa, the son of Maryam, yet they were not commanded but to worship One God: None has the right to be worshipped but He - Praise and Glory to Him: [Far is He] from having the partners they associate [withHim]" (Qur'an 9:31)

"...and I said to him : "We don't worship them." He said: "Do they not forbid what Allah has permitted and do you not then forbid it (to yourselves), and do they not make permissible for you what Allah has forbidden, and do you not then make it permissible (to yourselves)?" I replied: "Certainly!" He said: "That is worshipping them." (Narrated by At-Tirmizi, who graded it as Hasan)

And we all know that manmade laws are against Islam in several points .


Please share with other muslims if you think it is important ..
